Bringing this back to the top.
Can someone with some technical knowledge about the NASA burners let me know whether the following is correct?
"The gas outlet fitting of the hose is 1/4" BSPF swivel nut, your burner's
gas inlet fitting should be 1/4" BSPM 60 degree coned otherwise they will
not fit each other.
The hose gas inlet fitting is 1/4" BSPM to fit the regulator gas outlet
fitting: 1/4" BSPF.
LP Gas sealing tap must be used with the connections to connect the regulator and the hose."
The NASA burners [and that by the way is a nickname that has been given to them on this list] have very standard fittings.
The same fittings used for a domestic bbq are used on a jet burner. Note I said fittings and not the hoses.
The reg requiredis a high pressure job but again is not any different in thread or size to the standard bbq one. Again I'm only talking physical fitting size.
The important thing to note is hoses must be able to take the extra pressure from the reg and must be sheilded in some way to avoid melting, fire, explosion and the end of civilisation as we know it.
The sealing tape you need is proper gas fitters tape [the yellow stuff].
They are brilliant and are really no different to set up to a 3 ring burner.
